Hi,

Echo has nailed it. Vox proxy uses a scripting wizard, and has quite a
number of characters available. Also, there is a view you can package with
it, although it is still the 97 version.

> There's an MS Agent webring which may be helpful to you as you investigate
the use of agents in your presentation. http://www.msagentring.org/ I'm
pretty sure the Merlin, Peedy and Robby characters are free. (I know I did a
demo using Merlin some time ago, and I didn't have to pay for him or
anything like that.)

seen at https://www.voxproxy.com/cgi-bin/vox.pl I believe VoxProxy makes the
use of agents a bit easier, as it works as a PPT add-in which has scripting
and testing controls right there for you to use -- you don't have to type in
the code by hand.
